Comidoc Review

Our Verdict

Though this master class offers valuable insights into Amazon ECS and related services, the title is misleading in its Fargate focus. Outdated UI, deprecated techniques, and a heavy reliance on pre-existing templates present challenges for beginners and those seeking real-world applicability. While content is overall informative, it's imperative to update the course to reflect current AWS practices and adjust expectations regarding Fargate coverage.

What We Liked

Comprehensive coverage of Amazon ECS, Fargate, and related services, providing a solid understanding of container orchestration on AWS
Hands-on demonstrations using CloudFormation templates, offering a practical perspective on service creation and management
Clear explanations of various networking modes, task placement strategies, load balancing, and auto scaling features in ECS

Potential Drawbacks

Content heavily relies on pre-existing templates without thorough explanation, which can be challenging for beginners
Inadequate focus on Fargate – some parts of the course barely mention or demonstrate its usage
Outdated UI and some deprecated techniques illustrated in parts of the course, causing confusion with the latest AWS environment
Lack of complete how-to explanations for certain processes, leaving viewers uncertain or unclear about their implementation
